- Can I apply to the Department of Computer Science for the MS in Computer Networks and also for the MS in Computer Science in one application?
- No, you need two separate applications (with fees, reference letters etc). Applying to both degrees will not increase your chances of getting admitted, since there is a single admissions committee in Computer Science Department that reviews all applications. Once you are in one of these two Masters degrees, you can easily switch to the other one if you find it more attractive.
